New York Times And RH Reality Check Shed Light On The Big Money Funding Anti-Choice Groups And Candidates

The New York Times reported just 158 families have contributed more than half of all early money supporting the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, with 138 mostly supporting Republican candidates. RH Reality Check followed up on the Times’ reporting to point out that two of these families are also top contributors to anti-choice causes and candidates.

Times reporters Nicholas Confessore, Sarah Cohen and Karen Yourish wrote that, “Not since before Watergate have so few people and businesses provided so much early money in a campaign, most of it through channels legalized by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision five years ago.”
